Why
Why doing this when HP very soon will release its own LDAP authentication software?
Well, why not doing it? It is fun and perhaps this software has functions that the software from HP lacks.
And, you do not need to use it.

Description
This software enable LDAP authentication to OpenVMS using loginout callable interface.
It can add users automatically whenever a
user, specified during login, is allowed to logon to the host. This
addition is done even if the user specifies an invalid password.
Users added by the LGI LDAP Server
process is target for removal if the DN used when adding the user is no
longer available on the LDAP server.
Note that the removal is done only if the LDAP server is fully reachable and the DN is missing.
This removal process is run at 00:15 or at another time specified by a logical name.
When a user is added a command procedure can be executed to create the login directory for the user and/or any other required operations for a new user.
When a user is the target to be removed from SYSUAF.DAT another command file can be executed to do any additional steps such as initiate a backup of the users files.
